[New York: 1948]. Thirty-six parts, plus twelve extra brochures. With original envelopes. Light wear. Very good. Item #6373

The complete six week mail order course for debutante success. First published in 1940 and re-copyrighted every subsequent year, the DuBarry Success Course was originated by the Richard Hudnut Salon in New York City. It was originally designed to assist debutantes with their coming out -- and as a means to sell DuBarry cosmetics. The course focused heavily on low-calorie dieting, purgatives, light calisthenics, and correct hair and makeup application. In addition to the six week course, included here is a quick index to the course materials, a "charm test," and a color-scope chart together with tissue papers to help you determine your best colors and what makeup to wear with what dress. A complete look at how to be a "correct" 1940s woman.
